Shortly before Tunney left for

fiancee, Miss Mary Josephine
Lauder, whom he will marry ei
ther abroad or shortly .after his

Lauder did not accompany him on

A crowd of youngsters and. a

attempted to avoid the crowd and
photographers, but was over
powered by the throng that
crushed in upon him.
Impatient at the crowd and the

I say anything that I won't answei
acy questions."
"I have not in any way con
nected myself to any business
proposition and stories I have
done so are without foundation.
I am not considering what I will
do until I return from my trip.
AH reports to the contrary are er
roneous. "I hope to have a pleasant time
abroad, and will have, if the pub
lic will let me. That's all."
With that he closed the door.
Tunney'a party consisted of
William O. McGeeham. sports
writer, Leonard Hanci of Cleve

Governor Makes Exhaustive
' Study Of Own Records
In N. Y. Assembly
-By PAUL F. HAT7PKRT
Associated Teas Staff Writer
ALBANY, K. T Aug. 16
(AP) Governor 8mith has deeid
ed to reply to William Allen
White's charges that as an astern
blyman he favored the saloon and
allied Interests.
Fortified by an exhaustive re
view of his own legislative record,
tne democratic nominae for nresl
dent is preparing an answer, but
does not know Just when ha will
make it public
A denial, cabled from Europe
by the Kansas editor, that he had
"retracted" any of his accusations,
put a new light on the situation,
in Governor Smith's opinion, and
has served to hold up his rejoin
der.
Records Examined
.For several weeks the nominee
has been going over legislative
records, some of them nearly 25
years old, to check up in detail
on his votes on social legislative
proposals. There had been some
Indications that he might not re
ply, but today he definitely dis
closed an intention to do so.
In announcing this plan of ac
tion, the governor at a confer
ence with newspapermen, men
tioned the republican national
committee as having made publie
white s cablegram. It was design
ed to correct what the editor re
garded as an erroneous impres
sion that he had retracted charges
relating to Smith's stand on
gambling and v commercialized
rice.
May Broaden Out
Whether the presidential nomi
nee in his counter blast aleo will
take cognizance of other attacks
on his public record, such as those
made by Dr. John Roach Straton
of New York, has not been dis
closed. - In view of the fact that
there now seems little likelihood
that the proposed debate between j
Smith and the Baptist clergyman
will come off, some of the gover
nor's advisers have urged him to
increase the scope of his reply to
White to embrace Dr. Straton and
other critics but he has given no
inkling of his intentions.
Governor Smith is shaping up
his rejoinder between conferences
with party leaders at the executive
mansion where overnight he plan-
nd to have as his guet Senator
ned to have as his guest Senator

dential nomination at Houston. It
